"Bedlam = late Middle English: The Hospital of St. Mary of Bethlehem, used as an asylum for the reception and treatment of the mentally ill; originally situated in Bishopsgate, in 1676 rebuilt near London Wall, and in 1815 transferred to Lambeth. In extended use: an asylum for the mentally ill; a madhouse, lunatic asylum." --Oxford English Dictionary
Ever seen someone mumbling or lost deep in thought or in distress who looked familiar? Maybe they reminded you of a friend or relative -- or maybe they looked like you. Did you keep on walking and think "there but for the grace of God go I"? SONGS FROM BEDLAM gives voice to the secrets and private thoughts of those unknown yet familiar someones.
Firehouse presents Richmond playwright Douglas Jones' SONGS FROM BEDLAM in a new production directed by Todd LaBelle. Performances begin Wednesday, October 17, 2018, and run thru Sunday, November 4, 2018.
